My new favourite breakfast place. It’s a small greasy-spoon style diner, run by a family. The portions are large, the staff are amazingly friendly and the coffee is refillable. It was very busy the day we went and the staff/family was obviously struggling to keep up, but you could tell they were trying their best and everyone waited patiently. All around this place is amazing and I will go back many times.

This place is a must try. The food is so delicious that my kids ate on their own for the first time in a long while! The pancakes are slightly crispy and fluffy at the same time. The potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and not dry on the inside. The staff here is amazing and this place comes highly recommended. A gem in Victoria!

I just randomly visited here today and I think I found a hidden treasure. I waited for around 5-10mins and people more came after us. This restaurant is not fancy and doesn’t have ‘interesting’ signature menu (like some of famous brunch restaurants!) BUT, their foods feel like real ‘homemade.’ I could feel that they really care about even the smallest thing on their plate. (I've never seen a place that makes their own strawberry jam!) There was only one server working, but service was great enough and food served fast. I will definitely come again!

Got the salmon eggs Benny (triple) and was delighted. I was skeptical at first of the oaten toast on the menu but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bread! 5 stars! Great price point and quality!

First time visit. This Avalon Skillet was huge! And fantastic! Service was stellar! Loved the home made bread too. I highly recommend this place. I’ll try it again. Second time was excellent too!

even though the lineup was out the door, service was fast and efficient. they took down our name and number so we could peruse the local shops while we wait 15 for our table. Service was gracious and kind. we were greeted with warm smiles from the server who amazingly managed all the tables herself and the chef. This looks to be a tight not, family operation. what was so special about our breakfast were that several elements were homemade. the jam, the bread and hot sauce! Prices were below the local average while portions were bigger! and no compromise to quality! Thank you Avalon, we will return
